If you’ve been feeling "Febru-weary" and exhausted, I’m here to tell you that a new planner isn't the fix. In this bonus episode, I’m walking you through my Spring Reset guide, a gentle, 4-step process designed to help you clear the mental load and burnout that so many women carry.

From identifying the "clutter within" to anchoring a tiny shift that actually lasts, we’ll talk through exactly how to build self-trust and regulate your nervous system—even if you feel like you don't have a single minute to spare.

Whether you're navigating high-functioning anxiety or just feel "full," you’ll walk away with a clear roadmap to feeling like yourself again.

🎯 HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Awareness: Naming What is "Full"

Transformation starts with the courage to stop gaslighting your exhaustion. We look at the tension in your body and the habits that are draining you.

2️⃣ Compassionate Release

How to let go of roles and beliefs that no longer serve you—without the guilt.

3️⃣ Soul-Aligned Alignment

Instead of a "to-do" list, we design a "to-be" list. What does your soul actually crave in this season?

Inner Spring Cleaning #1

Feeling overwhelmed shouldn't be your "normal." If you’re a high-achieving woman navigating burnout, this inner spring cleaning series is designed to help you clear the mental load and stress that a better planner simply can’t solve.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on The Lint Trap Effect, including why life feels so weighty right now and how to start clearing that invisible buildup from your nervous system.

From identifying "Febru-weary" survival mode to understanding why your New Year's goals might have stalled, we’ll talk through exactly how to create space for the life you actually desire, even if you feel like you have too much on your plate to slow down.

Whether you’re a high-achieving woman, a busy professional, or simply feeling "unanchored," you’ll walk away with a sense of relief and a practical path back to yourself.

🎯 HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Understand "The Lint Trap Effect" Just like a dryer, we accumulate invisible buildup from old habits and unvoiced expectations that eventually become a "fire hazard" for our well-being.

2️⃣ Stop Gaslighting Your Exhaustion Self-trust begins when we stop telling ourselves we "shouldn't" be tired and finally admit that we are simply "full" of roles that no longer fit.

3️⃣ Shift from "Makeover" to "Return" Inner spring cleaning isn't about fixing yourself or doing more; it’s about returning to the version of you that isn't buried under everyone else's demands.

In this episode, I’m joined by Marla Cantor, a longtime yoga teacher and wedding officiant whose path to creating deeply meaningful ceremonies unfolded in a way she never expected.

Marla discovered yoga more than 30 years ago by chance, at a time when studios were rare and she never imagined herself teaching.

What drew her in wasn’t performance or achievement, but the quiet. The feeling of being in her body without expectations.

Over time, yoga became a steady anchor in her life - shaping how she listens, how she holds space, and how she shows up for others.

Years later, that same presence led her somewhere surprising. A yoga student asked Marla to officiate her wedding, and with a mix of nerves and trust, she said yes. What followed was the beginning of a new calling - one rooted in the same skills yoga had been teaching her all along.

In our conversation, Marla shares how she brings yoga off the mat and into sacred ceremony. We talk about how she works closely with couples, the thoughtful ways she gathers their stories, and how she weaves breath, presence, and deep listening into each ceremony she creates.

For Marla, weddings aren’t about performance or perfection - they’re about connection, calm, and honoring love heart by heart.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the practices that ground us most can quietly guide us into work we never planned, but feel deeply aligned.

🔍 What You’ll Take Away from This Episode:

- Marla’s unexpected journey from yoga teacher to wedding officiant

- How yoga skills like presence, breath, and listening translate into meaningful ceremonies

- What it really means to “hold space” during emotionally charged moments

- How Marla works closely with couples to tell their love story with care and intention

- Why gentle presence often matters more than perfectly chosen words

Episode 16 | Radiantly Rooted with Rachel

Meet Cheryl Dillon: a certified life coach and connection expert who has spent more than 15 years helping people not just survive, but thrive through major life transitions.

With a background in psychology, professional training from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), and certification in event planning from San Diego State University, she blends emotional insight with thoughtful design to craft experiences that are both uplifting and transformative.

Like many women, Cheryl spent decades doing all the “right” things - working hard, being responsible, and showing up for the people she loves. While she values that deeply, midlife arrived not as a crisis, but as a powerful turning point - a chance to reflect on what she wanted this next chapter to look and feel like.

She realized she didn’t want to buy into the idea that this stage signals a slowdown or that the best years are behind her. Instead, she chose to intentionally design a life rich with depth, joy, and new possibility — and to help other women do the same.

That vision became Funderful Experiences, a company dedicated to helping women shape midlife chapters that feel vibrant, purposeful, and true to who they are. Through her Connected Hearts in-person membership community, The Uplift newsletter, and private coaching, Cheryl brings this mission to life - creating environments that nurture genuine connection, self-trust, and personal growth in ways that feel natural, nourishing, and real.

Her expertise in navigating change is rooted in nearly two decades as co-founder of Equitable Mediation Services, a nationally recognized practice where she has helped people move through divorce with compassion and respect - skills that continue to inform the supportive, judgment-free spaces she creates today.

Cheryl believes midlife isn’t about settling down - it’s the beginning of something truly Funderful.

🔍 What You’ll Take Away from This Episode:

- How Cheryl turned a series of quiet wake-up calls into a bold, joyful midlife reinvention

- Why meaningful experiences matter more than stuff (and how to create more of them)

- The surprising power of puzzles, gardening, and mindful hobbies for getting out of your head

- What it really means to become your own best friend—and how that changes everything

- How to stop the inner critic and build self-trust in your daily life

- What Funderful Experiences is—and why it's changing how women connect, heal, and grow

Kim Costa is a Realtor, TV host, and author whose life completely shifted after healing from a broken back through yoga. That experience rooted her in a deeper purpose and inspired her to create the Wheel House Method, helping people align their homes with their wellbeing. Her book, Live in Your Wheel House, explores how our spaces can support healing, clarity, and authentic living. Kim brings warmth, mindfulness, and real-life wisdom to every conversation—and she’s all about helping people create a home that feels as grounded as they want to feel inside.

🔍 What You’ll Take Away from This Episode:

- How a life-altering injury led Kim Costa to completely reimagine her life and purpose

- The connection between your physical space and your internal well-being

- Why honoring your energy (instead of pushing through) is a key to long-term health

- What the Wheel House Method is, and how it helps you realign your life, one area at a time

- A simple mindset shift you can make today to feel more grounded and connected

- How even small changes in your environment or habits can spark big transformation
